Default HELP!! This can't be good

Well I was out playing on the street with my T/A
and met up with some friends took one of them for a blast to see what he thought.It was all down hill from there!The car was pulling harder than it ever felt before.It was just about to shift in to third gear and BANG it made alot of noise and then died.My friend is a mechanic so we towed it back to his house.We tried to start it but that was a bad idea.So he said pull the valve covers.Well heres the bad part it turns out that it dropped a valve so we pulled the head on the drivers side and it just gets worse from there on.What do you think i should do they are gtp heads and one is pretty well destroyed.The bottom end is stock so no big deal there.But I have alot of money in the heads.ANYONE WANT A SLIGHTLY USED SET OF HEADS 2.055 x 1.575 flow 330 @.600 lift? HELP!!!

Did you blow the valve into the head? Sounds like you definately got some problems....cracked piston, bent rod, etc. How much you want for the heads???? Are they stage 3's?

What exactly is damaged on the head? I would contact GTP and see if they can repair it.
